This invention relates to secure data handling systems and addresses the problem of securely receiving and storing sensitive data from a user. The system comprises a server connected to a user device via a network. The server has memory and a processor. When a request from a user device indicates a need for sensitive data, the server initiates a process. It first generates a structured format for this sensitive data, dividing it into multiple data units. The server controls the size and number of these data units. Next, the server identifies multiple ways to contact specific entities (contact methods) using contact information from a database. Each contact method is designed to receive information related to a single data unit. The server then determines a communication protocol for each contact method. Crucially, the server sends requests for data unit information to these contact methods using the chosen protocols. These requests are designed to hide the sensitive nature of the information being sought. After receiving the requested data unit information from each contact method, the server aggregates this information to reconstruct the complete sensitive data.
